• Chapter 7 Hormones in Avian Eggs: Physiology, Ecology and Behavior (2008, background): “In gulls, where within‐clutch differences in egg size and composition are of paramount importance for nestling survival (Nager et al., 2000), it has been found that both carotenoid and immunoglobulin concentrations decrease with laying order whereas T increases (Groothuis et al.”
• Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation (2005, background): “Moreover, egg size can vary within a clutch [314, 822, 1216], according to geographical distribution [1065], with age [769] and race.”
• Sex-specific patterns of yolk androgen allocation depend on maternal diet in the zebra finch (2005, background): “Females may lay eggs containing greater quantities of carotenoids (Blount et al., 2002; Royle et al., 2001), lipids (Nager et al., 2000; Royle et al., 1999), or immunoglobulins (Saino et al., 2002).”
